What should have happened here, Mr Red Baron?

Not all of us are drugged out piss heads, I have most likely drunk less booze during the 20 + years that I have been in the industry than most people drink at one bike rally weekend. There are some problem people in the bike industry same as any work place in NZ not denying that but generally most people I have worked with or have worked for me have been fine.

my apologies, was meant as a piss take and to be fair most mechanics i have come across are clean, most bad jobs i have had done were when they let the apprentice loose without proper supervision, basicly why i started doing all my own maintenance again when i was on the farm

Im not taking the side of RB here but reading the OP had alarm bells ringing in my head. Tyre wouldn't hold air any more. Tube fitted due to ANOTHER puncture. Given a workshop compressor caps out at 120psi I'd say the origonal tyre was rotten to the core. Literally.
I bet the cords were rotted away due to age and water penetration. Add some air to get the darn thing to bead and it rips open.
Happy to be proven wrong here

Seems to be more of a customer service error over mechanical one to me. Another company that doesnt like talking to there customers.

thats a good theory but the scooter has been used most working days since 08 and this tyre was new in jan,the tyre previously had a nail puncture.also remember the new tube was also destroyed and i dont know whether the size of only ten inch has a bearing or not,but you should know

In most shops the apprentice/tea boy does the tire/puncture repairs as it's usually a job any rock ape can handle with out supervision. You'll probably find said person fucked the tire on the tire machine when getting it off the rim, seen it happen.
